Debbie,

I am and use tea tree shampoo to wash my piggie and this seems to help with 
his flaky and dandruffy skin plus it sooths cause of the tea tree oil. The 
one I use is actually a dog product but it works great if you keep it out of 
ears and eyes.

Also Willie wants to say he is very happy he got his gf's pic in the mail 
Saturday and Boo is adorable. He also thought Fulgly was cute too. I now 
often find him talking to her pigture hanging by his cage. He was grouchy 
last night too as I went to take him out of the cage and he bite me, but not 
hard enought to draw blood. So needless to say he didn't get taken out of 
the cage. Wonder what was up with that as he hasn't done that in forever. 
But he is very content with his pigture of Boo by his cage. he will send his 
pigture(s) to Boo and Fugly too soon.

Alicia & Sailor Willie

Hi :) I haven't posted for awhile but need some advice on how to handle
a skin problem. I have a few piggies that have been getting this
dandruffy flaky skin . It turns into thicker flaky skin and leaves a red
sun burned look  under the flakes if you scrape it gently with your
fingernail.Any ideas whats going on so I can stop it??We have had a hot
humid summer in New England too. Could it be extra dry skin that needs a
moisturizer or a condition because of the humidy and I need to use a
dehumidifier in the room? Any help is appreciated . thanx :)
Debbie and all her fuzzy butts

  " Have a Good Day" !!    Debbi
